no i mean like if you were really fast and managed to grap onto the back of the ball

>>34434119

Depends how fat you are.

i don't think that is true. that might make sense for something like a firearm but a cannonball is too big.

how heavy is the ball?

>>34434171
You do realize how fast it is moving, right? A cannonball is also much heavier and has much more energy.

>>34434171
sure nigga if your arms and joints are made of undestructium, you'd be slightly yanked in the direction of the cannon ball, but your fleshy arms would be torn apart by the sudden acceleration.
imagine having a chain tied from your arm to a cannon ball as it's being fired, it's the same thing

If your grip would be superman and hold itd pop your shoulder out and rip it off.

You aren't going to be going as fast as the ball so the same applies, and it you close your fingers around the sides as it passes through your hand somehow you'll get your skin torn off from friction.

>>34434119
Idk OP, maybe you should fire a cannonball at yourself and record the results

>>34434119
Assuming you can magically grab it, you can make a simple calculation using the momentum equation p=mv

largest french naval cannonball was 17kg moving at 450m/s
17kg*450m/s=7650
lets say the guy weights 70kg so m is now 87kg
7650/87kg= 88m/s
So they guy + ball would continue flying at 88m/s together (hope I didnt fuck that up)

>>34434230
i think it's german, which is nazi english. a little bit different

>>34434171
NIGGER, THIS IS AN ACTUAL FUCKING ENGINEER TELLING YOU TO FUCKING FIND THE HIGHEST POINT YOU CAN FIND, AND JUMP OFF BECAUSE A CANNON BALL WEIGHING 50 FUCKING POUNDS GOING 500 FPS WILL FUCKING TAKE YOUR FUCKING HAND OFF UNLESS TOOTARDED THE WEABOO CAN MATCH ITS FUCKING SPEED

>>34434119
The coefficient of humanoid elasticity elongation is roughly 1.23x10^17 micro Joule centimeter inches
The frictionoid surface of an ferous, non-cascading semi-, yet near perfect non-ellipsoid cannonball is irrelevant with a rearward grip as the non-Neutonian sub-atomic adhesion factor approaches infinity due to string theory (way above your pay grade)
The end result will be catastrophic tissue failure
If you were reaching into a deflated hot air balloon envelope at the time the cannonball fired, you would be able to retrieve 99.94% or more cellular residue of that celluloidic flipper you call a hand

Ah, summertime. Why don't you ask your freshman physics teacher in September why your question is so damn fucking stupid, op.

>>34434152
A. you'd burn your hand and B. you'd loose your grip. Humans aren't that strong.

Nigga you work at cern or wat?

>>34434119
it would basically cut off you hand. a cannonball isn't slower than a black powder rifle bullet.

>>34434171
How about a slower and much larger thing?
What the fuck would happen to your hand/bone/muscles/joints if you managed to grab hold of a high speed train going at top speed?
You fucking moron.

I seem to recall an officer during the Civil War putting his foot out to stop a cannonball rolling across the field toward him, only to have it rip his leg off.

They did bounce and roll. It could be moving slow enough to see, but it's still a 20lb hunk of iron moving at a good clip.

>>34434694

>>34434149
Top kek

>>34434303
Because /k/ is now /b/ with guns, apparently.

>>34434119
Because the ball is going much faster than what your hands are moving it will most likely tear off ur fingers if they're placed right infront of it, if your hands merely start to grip for a second perhaps ur skin and whatever gets in the way.
have u ever caught a rock mid fly when someone throws it?
That, a hundred times.

You would lose your fingers

>>34434611
this was actually horrifyingly common amoung unseasoned troops during the napoleonic era.

apparently the cannon balls can look like they are rolling pretty slowly, or at least comprable to a soccer ball, and your past experience and your brain tells you you can just stop them with your foot. then you get your foot torn off.

i think the worst thing about these stories is i can easily imagine myself not knowing any better, trying it and losing my leg at the pelvis.

>>34434712
As an engineer, physicist, and physician, I agree with this anon's agreement with the prior anon.

>>34435362
this was a horrifyingly common soldiers tale lmao

>>34434119
you'd have to have some speed in the same direction to prevent your hands from being removed

>>34434152

If this wasnt /k/ Id ask whether youre an American, but Im pretty confident in my assumption.

>>34434119
It would rip off the weakest part of your arm or the part that receives the largest amount of forces. Be that your wrist or
Shoulder or elbow, that shit is flying off and your body is staying put.

>>34434270
This is a different engineer telling you it will totally work because the human body is mostly non-Newtonian fluids and will momentarily harden in proportion to the applied force delta. You should do it and post pictures to prove this guy wrong.

>>34436095
fuck you idiot, Americans isn't stupid!

in a book called From a Soldier's Journal: 1861-64 accounts soldiers throwing dry wood one foot in thickness in front of one "slow" ball and seeing how the drywood is blown away while the ball bounces away again even though it previously was slowly rolling on the grow.

also they tried drywood because they were told not to touch the slow balls with their feet.

Well as a engineer, physicist, physician, and realtor, I agree with the argument the engineer made, and that the engineer physicist and engineer physicist physician have agreed with.

Extra question, why do people feel the need to add their "credentials", why not just justify your claim with logic/evidence and leave it at that? Am I supposed to trust the random dude on the basket weaving forum because said he's an engineer or something?

If you were really fat and had incredible gut flex and someone fired a canon ball, what would happen if you managed to gut flex the canon ball? Would you basically go flying in the same direction as the canon ball or would your weight reduce the energy of the canon ball from moving?

Your hand would fucking rip off bro. The inertia carried from that ball would be enough to tear and break every tendon, ligament, and bone in your hand, arm, and shoulder.

Conservation of momentum and the 2nd law of Thermodynamics.

If you, theoretically, were super fast and tough enough to withstand the speeds you need to reach, you would go with the ball and your hand would be torn to shreds, the cannonball is spinning and there is lots of energy to go around

>>34434152
In reality it would tear your hand off if you somehow managed to grab it. In fantasy it would slightly slow down and pull your body along with it.

>>34434152
If you believe hard enough, you can slow down the ball and catch it, but to throw it back would suck ass.

>>34434152
You could use it as a free ride, but there's a low pressure zone behind the cannonball, so you would suffocate if you held onto it for too long.

>>34442974
